Musalan

Musalan is a mountain located in the Eastern Visayas region of the Philippines, specifically in the province of Samar. It is part of the Samar Island Natural Park, a protected area encompassing a significant portion of the island's remaining rainforest. Musalan is noted for its diverse flora and fauna, including various endemic species of plants and animals. Its relatively remote location contributes to its preservation and ecological significance. The mountain is a significant watershed area, providing freshwater resources for local communities. While not exceptionally high in elevation compared to other Philippine mountains, Musalan presents challenging terrain due to its dense vegetation and steep slopes. Hiking and trekking are possible but often require local guides. Information regarding specific trails and permitted access to the area is typically available through the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) offices in the region.
